What Reviews Say

The facility excels in dog happiness (dogs eagerly jump out of cars to enter), staff friendliness, and communication (photo updates, report cards). Multiple reviewers praise their excellent care for anxious and reactive dogs. Minor concerns include rare reports of cleanliness issues and one serious incident involving a dog returning with unexplained scratches. The owners (Jen and Karen) are frequently praised as registered vet techs who genuinely care. This is a highly recommended facility with strong repeat customer loyalty.
